wran saidGod forbid, she sold out. FOR SHAME.....is that the kind of response you expected? I love the reactions right-wingers have to successful people on the left.

I am not a right winger.

So what is the point of this post? Who cares, I mean really.

The point of the post is Ms. Huffington's relentless efforts to tell people that corporate interests are evil, however, she just joined forces with the same evil she discounted so much, who cares? Everyone should.

1969er saidSeems like a brilliant move, actually. It's a good complimentary fit for both.

From a business sense it is a good move.

HuffPo grew branded as a liberal-leaning blog collective. Arianna says they need to change that to gain global legs. It will be interesting to see if the image really can change. Arianna will still have Editor In Chief control over content, so she'll be the face if it doesn't work out.

I don't think AOL has a political agenda like, say, NewsCorp that dictates the path for Fox News. If they can evolve the way she is planning, they could be a relevant centrist force.

Right. I agree with you.

Which is why I'm even more puzzled by your personal attack on me above.

I respect your views, but they are not fair and balanced as far as I can see, they are to the far right, and that is OK with me. Your ideas and posts provoke thought and are just as valid as any, it wasn't a personal attack, it was my opinion. You are not fair and balanced, but, quite frankly, fair and balanced oft times accomplishes nothing.

I don't want center. I want left! Center is that boring presentation you get with reporters and news anchors who tread carefully and refuse to assert a hard position. I don't want soft news, I want it hard-hitting.

If you want left as you say, you've still got MSNBC.Centrist doesn't mean boring or neutral. It means the middle of both sides, without the crazy extremes.
